When everything in life is a priority

There’s nothing like running a growing business. The buzz of new opportunities, the demands of a small team, endless decisions and the pressure to keep it all running smoothly. The big stuff, the small stuff - it’s all yours to hold.

You want clarity in your numbers, confidence in your decisions and peace of mind that everything is accurate, compliant and up to date. You shouldn’t be second-guessing your data, wondering what has been missed.

You don’t need more to manage. You need the finance function handled.

That’s where Positive Balance comes in - your outsourced finance team. Calm, capable, proactive. We’ve got you.

For DIY bookkeepers

We understand that not everyone has the budget to hire a bookkeeper long-term. Let us help you get it right with our super-popular Empowered Hour service or an ad-hoc training session. If it’s just a self assessment tax return you’re after, we can help with that too.
